It would have cut the flow down significantly, so I would have been ok with
it as it would have been a better compromise than doing nothing and kicking
the can down the road until Trump becomes President.

Which begs the question -- what if the makeup of Congress remains the same
but Trump doesn't win this year?  Are we going to be stuck with four more
years of "doing nothing about it" so Trump can fix it in 2029?

If it is really the "crisis" that Republicans make it out to be, they
needed to do something about it then.  They didn't, so they now can share
the blame for the "crisis."
